City of Ottawa Park-ticipate program Runs until August 22

Did you know that each weekday in the summer, there are City of Ottawa recreation staff members visiting different parks during the day and setting up crafts/activities for children aged 4-10?

Yes, that exists!

The free program runs until August 22 and is happening across the city.  There is a predetermined schedule so you can find out when the Park-ticipate program is visiting a park near you.

Today we were the only ones at the park and my daughter happily made a colourful pinwheel while we chatted with the employees.  We didn’t head to the park knowing they’d be there – but having known about the program from last year, I recognized the vehicle! We are very lucky to have so many fantastic FREE programs like this across the city.

Keep an eye out for the Park-ticipate vehicle or check the schedule! I love craft time that doesn’t leave a mess in my house.

Enjoy!
